SAN FRANCISCO, August 2.-The examl-
nation of Senator Stanford was resumed be-
fore the Pacific commission to-day. lie gave
list of the resources of the Central and
Western Pacific companies, with the excep-
tion of those originally contributed by the
promoters of the enterprise up to December

amounted to 46,062, 900, and of this only

gage and government bonds. The cost Of
building the road to Ogden averaged
$45,6o0 per mile, which was 25 to SO per
cent higher than the estimates made by
some eminent engineers, Stanford's argu-
ment showed deficiency of about $1,000 per
mile between the actual cost and the govern
ment aid, and said the government should
make this up.
Commissioner Anderson said: "Senator,

the Central Pacific to pay the government in

sources have been expended through con-

FISHERY QUESTIONS.
Unsatisfactory Replies BY q Canadian
Ofiicer to Queries.


HALIFAX. August 2.-Captain Scott, of
the Canadian fishery protection service, has
received from Admiral Luce, of the United
States navy, . series of questions regarding
the present condition Of fishery affairs, and
has replied in writing. The substance of re-
ports indicate that there are no Canadian
ports where an American fishing vessel can
replenish Its stock of provisions except in au-
tumn, when leaving for home. Second, it is
Insisted upon that every American fisherman
for shelter must enter and clear at the Gus
toms house or with cruisers On the ques-
tion Of what the word repairs" covers, Cap
tain Scott says this must be left to the dis
cretion of collectors or captains Of cruisers.
Captain scott enters into detailed explana-
ton of the restrictions OF Americans to GER
tain points for wood and water and repairs,
which seems to show such vessels may only
enter three ports for these purposes, and
then under rigid treaty stlpulatiOns. The
information is, on the whole, it is under
stood, not satisfactory to the admiral.
